Description

Featuring the ESA Rosetta spacecraft and Philae lander.

The Rosetta spacecraft followed a 10-year mission to catch a comet and land a probe on it. Launched in 2004, the spacecraft successfully arrived at its target, Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, on Aug. 6, 2014. In November of that year, Rosetta’s lander Philae made a historic landing on the comet — a major space feat. On 30 September 2016, the Rosetta spacecraft ended its mission by hard-landing on the comet in its Ma’at region.
